Col. Ralph Peters on Obama's Anti-Israeli Bent
Lt.-Col. (ret.) Ralph Peters,
military analyst and author of a book on Middle East politics,
says Obama apparently has a chip on his shoulder against Israel
– and it’s not “helpful to our civilization.”
Peters, who wrote “Endless War: Middle Eastern Islam vs. Western
Civilization,” was asked to explain why he felt American-Israeli
friendship appears to have been derailed so dramatically. “The
answer is two words,” he said. “President Obama.”
“Obama’s treatment of [Prime Minister Binyamin] Netanyahu
[during their recent meeting in Washington] was disgraceful and
shameful,” Peters told FoxNews. “We treat our enemies with
greater courtesy! In addition, it was counter-productive –
because this vendetta on the part of the White House against
Israel - all it does is encourage the Palestinians and their
Arab backers to make ever wilder demands that Israel cannot
possibly fulfill. This is not a peace process; this is something
about a chip on the President’s shoulder.”
Peters says that Obama’s approach is “absolutely” a departure
from past American policy. “It all started with Obama’s Cairo
speech,” he said, “where Obama attempted to appease radical
Muslims in the Middle East, cold-shouldered Israel, and raised
Palestinian expectations that he’d take care of Israel and that
the Palestinians would get their revenge. Secondly, in the past,
under Presidents Clinton and Bush, there were face-to-face
negotiations; the Palestinians were offered one deal after
another, and it was always – always! - the Palestinians who
walked away.”
Obama Refuses to Recognize the Basic Equation
The American animosity towards Israel “is not about housing in
Jerusalem or anything else,” Peters emphasized. “We need to back
up and get a little wide-angle picture and recognize the
fundamental issue in play here: Israel wants to live in peace
with its neighbors, and its neighbors want Israel destroyed. The
President refuses to understand that.”
“It’s become a credo of the left-wing that Israel is always the
oppressor,” Peters continued, “and that the Palestinian
terrorists are freedom fighters, etc. … Obama’s mother is
extremely left, his university chums are on the left, he spent
20 years with the Rev. Wright – all of their doctrines say that
the Palestinians are wonderful and that the Israelis are
basically Nazis... I think that the President has gotten that by
osmosis… This is our first anti-Israeli President; it’s
bewildering and astonishing.”
Peters said that Israel is not perfect: “This is not a question
of giving in to everything that Israel wants; Israel screws up
too. But [American policy must] be a balanced approach that
takes into account that Israel, for all its many faults is the
only rule of law, democracy and respecter of human rights in the
entire Middle East; they are part of our civilization. To turn
away from Israel as we are doing is not going to help our
diplomacy; it is going to hurt our civilization.”
